Our prediction for this Championship match:
Hull City and Bristol City face each other in the round 4 opener at MKM Stadium in what is expected to be a close Championship encounter. The Tigers aim to build on back-to-back wins over Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn Rovers, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Dogukan Sinik is a major doubt, while fellow midfielder Greg Docherty misses out with a knee injury.
The Robins, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Birmingham City and given Hull’s signs of improvement, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Defender Robert Dickie is banned for the match, while all Tommy Conway, Andreas Weimann, Rob Atkinson, and Ayman Benarous are out of contention through injuries. In their last meeting at the venue Hull City recorded a 2-1 win over Bristol City.
Highlighted Player (Nahki Wells):
Born on June 1, 1990 in Hamilton, Bermuda, Nahki Wells is a 170-cm-tall attacker who plays for the Bermuda national team. Wells is a product of Dandy Town Hornets youth academy and he continued playing for the Bermudan side at senior level.
The experienced striker played for the likes of Bermuda Hogges, Eccleshill United and Carlisle United before joining Bradford City in 2011. After spending three seasons at Valley Parade, Nahki Wells signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Huddersfield Town in the winter of 2014. In 2017 he moved to Burnley, but he played for Queens Park Rangers as a loan footballer in the 2018/2019 season.
Speaking of his international career, Wells made his debut for the Bermuda national team in 2007. He scored his first ever goal for Bermuda in the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Trinidad and Tobago. The Burnley man will represent the Gombey Warriors at the 2019 Gold Cup.
Highlighted Team (Bristol City):
Bristol City are one of the two famous clubs from the city of Bristol. Formed in 1894 the Robins mostly participated in English lower leagues and they have never played in the Premier League. Bristol City’s bitterest rivals are Bristol Rovers and it has to be noted that two teams first met in 1897. Bristol City have outplayed their local rivals on 43 occasions in the Bristol Derby.
Cardiff City are regarded as Bristol City’s bitter rivals as well. The Robins play their home games at Ashton Gate, the stadium that was opened in 1887. Bristol City were semi-finalists of the League Cup two times (1970/1971, 1988/1989), with the team making it to the FA Cup final in 1909.
The Robins faced Manchester United in the title game, but they failed to upset the English giants in the Crystal Palace clash. It is well known that Bristol City footballers wear red shirts and blue shorts.
